He had announced it in the last few days, he kept his word: Vincenzo DeLuca he showed up in the afternoon, defying the heat of the furnace in Piazza Municipio, at Pride Naples 2024. «At a time when civil rights are being questioned, it is right that the institutions also take to the streets. This is ultimately the meaning of our presence”, explained the regional councilor Lucy Fortinialso present at the demonstration. «The Region is not doing this for the first time and De Luca’s presence serves to reiterate with even more force that we owe respect to every human being. So being here, from my point of view, is truly a duty”, added Fortini.

In his opinion “the defense of rights belongs to everyone and not to the left”. «In the Region we want there is no discrimination based on sex, religion and race. Carry on like this”, concluded the Campania leader of the Azzurri. He was also in the square, almost doing the honors of the house Mayor Gaetano Manfredi who wore a sash with the colors of the rainbow. And naturally, the godmother of the Naples event, Malika Ayane.
He also made an appearance in Piazza Municipio Roberto Fico. The 5 Star Movement representative, former president of the Chamber, spent a long time with Manfredi (the good relationship between the two is well known). Long before the procession formed to set off towards via Toledo Among those present was Antonio Bassolino. Smiles and loud music in the background, the former president of the Region was in the company of his wife Annamaria Carloni. «The first Prede that was held in Naples was when I was mayor», Bassolino recalled with a touch of pride.
